Yes, as described in the name of the part, the friction ring is supposed to provide friction. It’s not supposed to slide freely-it acts as a brake for all of that steel moving backward toward you.
I don’t know why you keep swapping parts and stretching springs. The parts all sound worn out to me, and stretching springs works for about a hot minute. You need new, fresh springs. They aren’t expensive. Your gun will thank you.
If it’s doing something different than it was before, then it sounds like something is missing in re-assembly.

Try again using the manual above. If that doesn’t work, time for a smith.
